Ian Tomlinson was unlawfully killed by the police, & after Ians death the CPS, headed by Keir Starmer, decided not to prosecute anyone. As head of the CPS Starmer also reaffirmed the decision not to prosecute the [police] killers of Jean Charles de Menezes.

"Was it a mistake to say that you fully supported the former Met police commissioner Cressida Dick 18 months ago?" Journalist to Keir Starmer at Labours press conference this afternoon

Starmer: we havnt had meaningful police reform in years In 2021 the panel into Daniel Morgans murder found the Met were institutionally corrupt & CressidaDick had obstructed their investigations. 3mths later KS gave her his full support Will he deliver meaningful police reform?

A group of community members have come together with the @nxwestmidlands drivers to make sure they are well fed on the picket line. ❤️ While the public are upset due to lack of service most understand the fight the drivers are going through for better pay.

Forde unhappy about Labour's retrospective expulsions: it's "concerning that if you'd attended a meeting or expressed support prior to the organisation being proscribed, that your historical interaction could be used as a current basis for expulsion." labourlist.org/2023/03/forde…

Tik Tok removed our Iraq War video for "violating community guidelines" @tiktok_uk reasons: "illegal activities & regulated goods" & "violent & graphic content" that "glorify violence" Video is neither. it's a historic account of an illegal war. History should never be censored

Poor leadership? 4 of the last 6 Met Police commissioners were rewarded with a seat in the Lords after they stood down (Sir Paul Condon, Sir John Stevens, Sir Ian Blair & Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe) Sir Paul Stephenson never got one & Dame Cressida Dick is still waiting/hoping.

It's only news that the Met Police is institutionally racist if you haven't being paying attention for the last seventy years

As an East London teenager I watched the Met police smash the heads of trade unionists at Wapping. It's a lesson I've never forgotten.

Between 2018-2020, the Met Police strip searched 650 children, & in 25% of cases, there was no appropriate adult present (e.g. the childs parent or carer). Over half of the kids strip searched were black The Met police isnt fit for purpose. It should be scrapped (clip from 2022)

Starmer really needs to account for why he was backing Cressida Dick until the last. How can people have faith he will "lead police reform" when he emphatically backed the previous commissioner, despite her being in complete denial that there was a problem?

Looking forward to him explain how in a career of closely dealing with the Met he never noticed it was institutionally racist, homophobic or misogynist. Unfortunately no one in the media will ask him.

A Tory govt minister blames the mayor of London for not holding the Met police to account. #GMB

Sadiq Khan says he backs Mark Rowley (the Met police commissioner), because Rowley fully accepts the findings of the Casey report & isn't defensive #KayBurley points out he doesnt accept the full findings of the report & is incredibly defensive. Khan ignores that & carries on.

In June 2021 the report of the panel into Daniel Morgans murder found that the Met were institutionally corrupt & Cressida Dick had obstructed the investigations of the panel. Following its publication Sadiq Khan said he had full confidence in her. Sadiq Khan this morning...
